Friday is Human Voices Only Day. If you want to hear what your work sounds like narrated by a professional narrator, just send me a snippet of your book by Thurs. I specialise in Fantasy. Also, I'm British but narrate full books in Australian and American.

NEW: In his first interview since his arrest for protesting outside the Chicago-area ICE facility, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social tells me he has "bruises all over my body."
Even so, he said, “the cruelty that goes on that facility … must be 100 times worse." religionnews.com/2025/11/15/a...

Great writing here.
Yes. We obviously have a massive struggle against tyranny to contend with.
But there's a more subtle and insidious threat that we can't ignore:
The struggle for our very mental autonomy.

America has long feared it would suffer the same fate as the Roman republic, but never quite truly appreciated how utterly absurd Roman elites had become by the time of the late republic.

A reminder that the Epstein files aren't a distraction from the oligarchy. They're an integral part of it.

Other folks have said it, but let me just note that:
(1) lots of talented, must-read journalists have been let go from their jobs over the last year
(2) millions of Americans are abandoning current media outlets and looking for new alternatives
Seems like a sure-fire business opportunity here?

This is an excellent read and deep dive into a great album.
If you're looking for something to dislodge that Gordon Lightfoot earworm, tomorrow is ALSO the 50th anniversary of Patti Smith's debut album. Like Bruce Springsteen says, starts with "probably the greatest opening line of anyone’s debut album in rock ’n’ roll."

Libraries rock!
As our friends at the Corrales Library put it—libraries are more than just books, they are a true commons, a great equalizer, and a gathering place that brings people together.
At a time when so much is on the line—we must contribute to support our libraries and the important stories they hold!
